Photographers and videographers may find the following of interest: The
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hillís Morehead Planetarium and Science
Center has installed its Moravian star on the top of the planetarium, and the
star is illuminated each evening.

The star is in connection with "Star of Bethlehem," now showing in
the planetariumís Star Theater.

The star was last seen on the planetarium roof in 1999, when it was taken
down for repairs.

"Star of Bethlehem" looks at possible astronomical explanations of
that celestial event of long ago. Using planetarium wizardry, viewers examine
and decide for themselves whether a blazing comet, an exploding star called a
nova, a shooting star, a major eclipse or a conjunction of planets might explain
the reported event. The Star Theaterís recently upgraded video system uses
additional visual sequences to make the special effects even more compelling. A
new, original digitally edited soundtrack enhances audio quality.

The planetarium has presented "Star of Bethlehem" for more than 50
years. For more information on the program and showtimes, click on www.morehead.unc.edu.
